My mother is handicap and there are no handicap spots near my condo. There are not even handicap spots anywhere in the neighborhood and the nearest regular parking spot is about 50 yds away. Those spots are usually full so the next option is street parking which is at least 200 yds away. My mom can not walk that far. She at times pulls up to our house to unload toys for the kids or to pick up something from us...she doesn't turn the car off, puts her emergency lights on and is on her way in under 5 min. Our home owner's association has fined us twice ($150 each time) for her doing this. We've asked them where else can she park and why can't she just briefly load or unload considering her condition? They won't respond and now they've fined us again except this time it was so I could load a huge exersaucer toy into her trunk for her to take home. I don't understand what the big deal is but is there any laws about disabled persons being allowed to load and unload in no parking zones?

UK ANSWERERS ONLY PLEASE!

When you turn left at a roundabout you approach in the left hand lane. When you turn right at a roundabout you approach in the right hand lane. When you wish to go straight on which lane should you be in? Does it matter?

In the highway code it just says "When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise, select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout"

So does this mean either?

What prompted me to ask this question is because, today, due to an imbecil of a driver, i had to wait twice, not once for the traffic to change to green. He drove so, so, slow, the traffic changed from green to red - as he approached it- and he stopped, making all of us, wait, again, until was green again.
I am a careful driver, and due to my job I cant have points on my licence, neither convictions, but I do get mad, frustrated and grumpy when i see the incompetence and lack of common sense and curtesy of some drivers. Why is so difficult to " think" of others too, when you drive?
I often "give them way" if they are stuck and always keep my distance.
So, what drives you crazy? and
Do you feel getting really angry about that, almost having to keep calm, enough so that it doesnt turn into a road rage?

What was it like the first time you drove a car? Like the very first time when you had just gotten your learner's and you were learning to drive.. For me, that was today and I totally freaked out.. I couldn't stop laughing... If I did I think I might have started crying... It was so scary... I almost took the mirror off with my own mailbox... Not to mention the fact that I am learning to drive in a ginormous car (my mom's nissan quest minivan).. I already knew I was more comfortable driving a small car but I don't have one that I can learn in.. My dad drives a truck and like I said mom drives a minivan... My brother does drive an altima but it's nicknamed the demolition derby car or something because of all the wrecks he's been in and it's falling apart so I don't even want to drive that... It was so scary to put it lightly... But I did drive all the way home from the park about a mile or a little more away and nothing happened... Accept for I probably didn't go any faster than 30....

Ok so with all of the inefficiencies of the reciprocating internal combustion engine why don’t they make a hybrid car powered by a small centrifugal turbine that would work like an aircraft APU. The car would have an all electric drive system and the turbine would produce electricity for the electric motor. The FADEC computer would control fuel flow to the turbine as more power was needed. Trains have been doing this for decades so why not cars? A plus would be that you could use any liquid or flammable gas for fuel.

Along a lot of the motorways and roads there are very large square things on wheels that are padlocked to the ground. They have a yellow surround. Are they speed checks or do they just tell us about 'what problems are ahead of us'.

It’s a Van but in side you can fold down the far back seats and make a bed, some times two, and in the middle it has a long seat with a table bolted to the floor ??? I am trying to find one on line but I don’t know the exact name so it’s hard. Also sometimes these vans come with outlets so you can plug stuff in such as a mini refrigerator.

By name I mean…some Vans are Wheel Chair Vans, some are Mini Vans… exc.

Thanks for your help.
